    This video was posted last week, but it's worth viewing again especially as a review before the test which will be posted next week. The section on how indicators work is important because indicators are used frequently in FRQ's.

    Acid Base Interactions, a ChemStudy film.

    1870 pharmacist, Friedrich Mohr, designed the burette as the tool to quantitatively measure amounts of chemicals.
    AP students are expected to know how to titrate as its done in colleges and many labs. Be sure that you understand this.
    This video shows the entire process:

    However, burettes may become museum pieces as there are now titration machines .

    Here's the new way to titrate.

    Buffers play an important role in biological systems.

    Leah has buffer tips and an acid base review for students who are trying to pass the MCAT exam to get into med schools.

    She does an excellent job summarizing weak acids and buffers. Worth watching twice.

    Here is her You tube page if you want to view other tutorials on acids and bases.
